Door Kickers: Action Squad

If you're craving some classic side scrolling action with a modern twist, Door Kickers: Action Squad is an absolute blast from the past. Picture this: you're a SWAT trooper dropped into the chaotic streets of Nowhere City USA, tasked with taking down bad guys in a variety of wild locations. The game nails that old school vibe with its high detail retro graphics, but don't let the nostalgic look fool you the level design is non linear, and enemies can pop up when you least expect it, keeping you on your toes.

What really sets this game apart is the sheer amount of options at your fingertips. You get to pick from six different playable characters, each with their own unique playstyle that totally changes how you approach missions. And with over 60 weapons and gear items to choose from, you’ll need to master everything from recoil control to perfectly timed reloads. Strategy is key here: use distance and cover to your advantage, and learn your enemies' behaviors to take them down efficiently. Speaking of enemies, there are more than 20 types to face off against, along with four distinct mission objectives that keep the gameplay fresh and challenging.

Whether you're a longtime fan of side scrollers or just looking for a fun, action packed experience, Door Kickers: Action Squad delivers with its engaging storyline and polished gameplay. It’s the kind of game that hooks you from the start and doesn’t let go.
